ENZYME-CONTAINING BIO CATALYST, PREPARATION THEREOF AND BIOCHEMICAL REACTION BY USING IT

摘要

Production of enzyme-containing biocatalysts by a method in which whole cells of enzyme-containing microorganisms are spray dried under conditions such that the biocatalytic activity of the enzymes is retained. The method may be used to produce biocatalysts containing in particular the enzymes cyanide hydratase, amidase and D-2-haloalkanoic acid halidohydrolase. Biocatalysts per se and a process in which they are used for conducting a biochemical reaction are also claimed.
